hi all, just picked up my 2003 maxima se last thursday. i saw a couple of maximas with a plastic tail light cover with matched body color & i love it. can anyone tell me where i can get those? btw, where is the search mode in this site though?

 

look up and to the right, those small links

 

Do you have a dark colored Maxima or were those Maxima's you saw dark colored? You may have seen a 2000-2001 Maxima SE, which would have had a smoked out tail light. That was a standard feature of the 2000-2001 SE. The tail assemblies are interchangeable and several 2000-2001 owners are looking to trade with 2002-2003 owners in the For Sale forum of this board. FYI...they are not body colored, but very close to Black or Gray Maxima's.

I would venture to guess that you may get a couple people to respond to this thread offering you that very deal. Otherwise, you can buy them from Dave Burnette @ Town North Nissan. He gives Maxima.ORG members good prices. 800-251-7278

 

Welcome 2003max...and happy modding!

 

no, i'm pretty sure that it was a add-on plastic cover & some of my friends saw that as well.

 

oh, thanks.

 

Do a search on the org. They were probably painted, not covered. There isn't really a way to cover the tails on the Maxima since they are flush with the body of the car. Plus, I don't think anybody sells covers. They were either fab'd by these guys individually or they were painted with body colored paint. A couple guys on the board have done the paint thing.

BigDogJonX did it once...try PM'ing him.

 

thank u so much. btw, it seems to me that there are a lot more people subscribed in the site than in the acura-tl/cl.com (i also had a 2002 tl-s w/navi)

 

Hey, a Honda convert. Nice!

We have about 14,000 members here.

 

Wow weren't we just breaking 10,000 earlier this year?

 

not really a convert though coz i owned both cars. IMO, both cars have their pros & cons.

 

What was your main reason for getting rid of the Acura?

 

i didn't get rid of the acura & i currently have both acura & maxima.

 

like these. yummy!

 

yeah, how can u do the tail light? painted it or what?

 

Just out of curiosity does your wife drive the other car, or do you just have a thing for nice sporty four door sedans?

 

The SE tail light almost look like carbon fibre. I think they only look good on black, but that is only my .02. Welcome to the ORG, have fun modding and keep us updated. Also us the search, there is soooooooo much info.

 

You have to get the 2K/2K1 tail lights and have them painted. I bet some 2K/2K1 owners will gladly trade with you on the .org

 

actually, my dad bought me the acura tls & just bought my sister a maxima. plus, me & sister switch cars all the time & therefore, i will definitely put some mod on both cars. for my tls, i put a CAI, sway & going to get strut bar, exhaust, header & coilovers. for the maxima, planning to drop a CAI first. btw, i'm a student.

 

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS RUSS........!!!!!!!!!


J/K for all you **** people.......I know rus has a CL-S not TL.

BTW....2003max.....Welcome, you will like it here.

 

Welcome to the Org and Congrats on your wise purchase..

 

make yourself happy and sell both your japanese cars right NOW and get yourself a phat M3...

 

Do you think your dad would consider adoption? I am very nice and housebroken

 

2003max, welcome to the .org! Have you had any problems with the TLS? We just traded ours for the G35 due to the transmission problems we'd had.

Welcome to the .ORG!!!

 

yeah, i did change a tranny not long ago & hope it will keep up.

 

Why only the 2k/2k1 tails? I'm guessin cuz you don't like the yellow bottom half of the 2k2's right?

 

2003max, we had the tranny changed (took over a month) got the car back, then the next day it was acting crazy again! We did some wise negotiations with the Acura dealer and got the G. The major question was, did they really replace the transmission or was he just jerking us around. Hope yours works out better than ours! I'm sure the Maxima won't give u any worries.

 

some people who had their cars' tranny changed a while ago did come up the same problem coz some dealer just fix it instead of putting a new tranny. but now, i believe (& hope) that everything is fine. btw, i'm pushing my tls harder & harder everyday to see if the tranny can hold.

 

Wow your pretty daring, welcome to the org.

 

hi, i did a search on those 2k/2k1 tail lights. i just don't know why i need those & have them painted instead of just using the 2k3 one. both are just plastic outside & the only difference is the inner. btw, did u do it youself or have auto body shop painted it?

 

Hey 2003max congrats on the Max. Im sure you will love it. where in NJ are you from?

 

is that all? i think only about 200 even bother posting though.

 

As long as the others learn something..

 

yeah i guess ur right, but its kinda hard concidering that ohh say about 60+% are just post ****** and dont post anything useful. but alteast its worth a try, like right now im not postin anything useful, but oh well at one point of another we all post *****, so i think ill stop right about now

 

thanks. btw, i'm in old bridge which is very close to englishtown.
